in-situ chemical oxidation Articles

In this edition of Peroxygen Talk, guest authors Matt Burns and Bob Pirkle discuss the benefits of compound specific isotope analysis (CSIA) to optimize delivery and monitor performance of ISCO applications. Mr. Burns is a Senior Project Director at WSP Environment & Energy, a leading environmental, energy and sustainability consultancy with over 1,000 people in 65 global locations. He has more ...

A promising new technology, in situ Chemical Oxidation (ISCO), has the potential to supplant the more widely used pump-and-treat groundwater remediation technology by destroying groundwater contamination in situ (in place). ISCO is the process of oxidizing contaminants in the groundwater and soil by injecting water containing high concentrations of an oxidant to the site of the contamination. ...

Leaking underground storage tanks at the Police Station / City Hall in Mossyrock, Washington contaminated soil and groundwater with gasoline hydrocarbons. A portion of the soil was excavated, but the presence of the building prevented all of the contamination from being removed. After first advancing a series of soil borings to accurately define the target zone, Cedar Creek Engineering installed ...

A gasoline spill occurred when a fuel tanker was forced off this curve in rural Oklahoma. Initial responders were unsuccessful in their effort to remove all of the contaminated soil. Cedar Creek Engineering was contracted to remediate the residual soil and groundwater contamination. Here a recovery well and reagent injection points are installed. The treatment process called for Fenton's reagent ...

ABSTRACT A pilot study to evaluate an innovative in situ treatment technology was implemented at Letterkenny Army Depot, Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, for a limestone bedrock aquifer contaminated with chlorinated solvents. This technology destroys VOCs in groundwater, utilizing a network of injection points to deliver a solution of hydrogen peroxide (50%), catalysts, and surfactants. The ...

Treatment of chlorinated organic compounds has been ongoing at this New England facility (Site) for over 15 years. The extraction and above ground treatment system for groundwater containing tetrachloroethene (PCE), trichloroethene (TCE), 1,1,1-trichloroethane (1,1,1-TCA) and other chlorinated organic compounds has been running since September 1992. The full-scale remedy of in-situ chemical ...

Supplying ozone (chemical) oxidation equipment to clean soil and groundwater is Kerfoot Technologies' specialty. In the past, contaminated soil was dug and removed to a disposal location. Present-day engineering relies increasingly on smart in-situ technologies with minimal site disturbance. Chemical oxidation is at the forefront of those technologies. ...

ABSTRACT: In situ bioremediation is ongoing at a former manufacturing facility in Portland, Oregon. Shallow groundwater at the site was impacted by chlorinated solvents, primarily trichloroethene and degradation products cis-1,2-dichloroethene and vinyl chloride. In situ chemical oxidation treatment was completed in 2003 via the injection of sodium permanganate in source ...

Introduction Solidification/stabilization (S/S) reduces the mobility of hazardous substances and contaminants in the environment through both physical and chemical means. Unlike other remedial technologies, S/S seeks to trap or immobilize contaminants within their 'host' medium (i.e., the soil, sand, and/or building materials that contain them), instead of removing them through chemical or ...

Many industry practitioners, such as environmental consulting and engineering firms, are seeking topical decision-making criteria for their options when remediating impacted groundwater. 'Few, if any, of us are experts in the myriad fields of science associated with applied environmental biotechnology. As such, technology end-users, and vendors alike, are often confused and frustrated with ...

The main advantage of ex situ treatment is that it generally requires shorter time periods, and there is more certainty about the uniformity of treatment because of the ability to monitor and continuously mix the ground water. Ex situ treatment, however, requires pumping of ground water, leading to increased costs and engineering for equipment, possible permitting, and material handling. ...

The main advantage of ex situ treatment is that it generally requires shorter time periods than in situ treatment, and there is more certainty about the uniformity of treatment because of the ability to homogenize, screen, and continuously mix the soil. Ex situ treatment, however, requires excavation of soils, leading to increased costs and engineering for equipment, possible permitting, and ...

In-situ groundwater bioremediation is a technology that encourages growth and reproduction of indigenous microorganisms to enhance biodegradation of organic constituents in the saturated zone. In-situ groundwater bioremediation can effectively degrade organic constituents which are dissolved in groundwater and adsorbed onto the aquifer matrix. The Adventus In Situ Bioremediation/Groundwater ...

When a motorist struck the drop hose of a fuel tanker making a delivery at this Corpus Christi, Texas convenience store, about 250 gallons of gasoline flowed across the surface to a grass area where it soaked into the ground. The sidewalk and a natural gas pipeline prevented local cleanup crews from removing all of the contamination immediately after the spill. Over a period of several weeks, the ...

Remediation efforts are ongoing at the Avtex Fibers Superfund Site in Front Royal, Virginia. As part of the future remediation of several surface impoundments used for viscose waste disposal during plant operation, it may be necessary to extract contaminated leachate and groundwater for ex-situ treatment and discharge to the Shenandoah River. This waste stream contains varying concentrations of ...

In-situ groundwater treatment is experiencing rapid growth at contaminated sites, so consultants, environmental engineers, hydrogeologists, and regulators must not only stay abreast of emerging remedies, they must strive to objectively select the most natural and cost-effective solutions available. The Italian natural philosopher and mathematician, Galileo Galilei (1564-1642) wrote that ...

Shallow groundwater at the site was impacted by chlorinated solvents, primarily trichloroethene and degradation products cis-1,2-dichloroethene and vinyl chloride. In situ chemical oxidation treatment was completed in 2003 via the injection of sodium permanganate in source areas. Subsequent stimulation of in ...

INFORMATION Carus Corporation has a long history of developing and providing a variety of permanganate products for chemical oxidation applications. Carus is also a leading provider of phosphate products for sequestration and corrosion control. Phosphates are widely used as water treatment chemicals (dry or liquid solutions) to correct problems resulting from inorganic groundwater ...

ABSTRACT: In the ever-emerging field of in-situ remediation many strides are being taken to improve the efficacy of degradation. Countless hours and unparalleled research is constantly being performed in order to improve or replace current technologies. These technologies include in-situ chemical oxidation, anaerobic processes, bioaugmentation, zero valent iron, stimulation, etc. Due to the ...
